Remember, you have chosen to fast and pray for children to be saved and set free. You are partnering with the heart of the Father to set the oppressed free and to break every yoke. From a heart of love and adoration before the Lord, you are coming as Esther came. You have been set free by the blood of the Lamb and the Father sees your heart of devotion. He is greatly pleased and is listening right now to your heart of intercession rising before Him.

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6)

Bible verses to pray over them:

That they would lift their voice to the Father and know that He hears their cry --

“You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. 23 If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” (Exodus 22:22-24)

"The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people." (Psalm 69:33)

Lord, I ask you to heal the pain they've suffered through mistreatment and the brokenness in their physical bodies. I also ask for a deep healing of the emotional despair they've endured. I ask that the tears of loneliness and abandonment they have felt would be replaced by tears of great joy.

I pray that God would turn the hearts of the father (and the mothers) to their children (Mal.4:6) and that these parents would love them, value them, PROTECT and nurture them. I pray that The Lord would rescue and then supernaturally heal all those precious ones who have been traumatized, and that he would send more believers to minister to them, and to help them to understand the value and worth they have. I pray against the depravity and the perverted spirit that causes men to crave sex with children. I pray against the lies that there is any good fortune to be found through such acts. I pray that these young ones would find true lasting love in life, and that they would experience the indescribable love that is only found through Jesus Christ.
